this i was told by an fbi agent at a lie level, if this involved a high level fbi executive, he would have been out the door the same day. they wouldn't have left him in office. yet he was in office from the spring until october. and then just by coincidence obama is told two days after the election? it's so transparent that this is a big coverup. and the real issue, as you mentioned, is the blackmail issue. and that is russian foreign intelligence criminals, if they had gotten on to this affair, would have used it as blackmail against petraeus to get our biggest secrets, and that's why with the security clearance you are not supposed to compromise yourself in this way. >> let me go to the congressman. so the fbi director had to know. he meets with the president. eric holder had to know, he meets with the president. we are saying a cia director that is involved in a compromising situation that's correct that was not brought to the attention of the president? what if it wasn't? is that not dereliction of duty in is that not incompetence on that part? if the president did know, what doe

so the fbi can't go on a fishing expedition. they can't look for jenna lee's e-mails to me anymore than they want to look at general petraeus's e-mails to mrs. broadwell without establishing the probability of a criminal act and persuading a neutral federal judge that the there was probably evidence of criminal activity here. short of that, there is no search warrant. and any viewing of the e-mails without a search warrant is a crime by them. now, they could write their own search warrant under the patriot act but in order to do they have to satisfy themselves that this was an investigation into terrorism. that's obviously not the case either. i think they ran amok with general petraeus's life and with his liberties and for that he is out of a job and it's wrong. rick: i've been following your career for many years and i know that you are a champion of individual liberties, individual rights but when someone signs up for the job of cia director and that person is entrusted with the most sensitive secrets that we have in our coun
